What if a bad fate awaits after death
Read John 3 16-19, if you can agree with that, don't worry, read your bible and ask God to answer the question, the 'empty vessels' on these pages will only seek to lead you away from Christ.
Matthew 6:33-34 (Amplified Bible)
But seek (aim at and strive after) first of all His kingdom and His righteousness (His way of doing and being right), and then all these things taken together will be given you besides.
So do not worry or be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will have worries and anxieties of its own. Sufficient for each day is its own trouble.
Empty vessels ? Says who ?
person who is challenged when it comes to logic and reasoning ?
you wasn't ? yeah yeah... preacher preaching his religion by calling non-believers empty vessels..and twists his words by saying he wasn't talking about them ?
Let's talk about logic and reasoning from deluded religious nutcase ?
She/He/It may not be worried if we spend our lives doing what He told us to do....
...and you presume that 'we' believers do not enjoy our lives, mines been fuller than most folk on earth and continues to be so day by day.....
....plus I'm not the one getting ratty about faith and it's effects on the world!
What if it's "lights out" once we're dead - and some of us have spent our short lives thinking about something that's a matter of "lights out"?
Even if there is someone/something "beyond", I don't think we're being tested here anyway. I think it's more a matter of we're being dealt a hand of cards that we can play as we choose (within the limits of it, though). Whether or not that "hand" is dealt by some "being", or instead dealt just by luck, Nature, or some other force in the Universe - who knows that either... Some may see playing that hand we're dealt well, or with strength, as "being tested" and proving ourselves (if to nobody but ourselves), but I don't think it's all a test as if it's tryouts for the soccer team (or something). Either way, for now I'm going with the "lights out" thing.
The driver just abandons the car and joins the Automobile Association hoping he can get a management job with Henry Ford and not have to install hubcaps on the assembly line.

Does this seem strange to you?
I don't really follow religion much, but all these different groups that are telling each other they are going to hell because they aren't following the correct religion, seem a little crazy?Yet, they all seem to be universal when it comes to hell and the devil. Why is there so much difference...

Believers, how do you KNOW there is life after death?I am always interested, and quite envious, about people who are completely convinced of an afterlife. People who believe in the afterlife, do you feel that you KNOW there is life after death and if so how can you be so sure?

The Kingdom of God is not about who goes to Heaven or Hell
For the very many years I was in Church attendance, the Kingdom of God was always equated with Heaven. It was a future event that only those who believed in Jesus would see either when they died or were raptured, whilst the remainder of humanity would go to hell. A Christian could be disqualified...
